The departure of a loved one is a tough moment for friends and family. In a world where people are spread in different states and continents, having a Virtual Memorial Website becomes an easy option to bring all these friends and relatives together. However, the site is different from other platforms used to sell goods and promote brands. How do you create a platform that will be captivating, respectful to the diseased and meaningful to participants invited?

Use a pre-existing platform to set up your memorial page. These websites are developed specifically for the purpose. You log in and create a page or profile for the people you wish to remember. There is a button to share or invite friends to the platform. The page is customized using unique images, text and colors, among other elements. This is a quick and hustle free approach that does not require advanced IT skills or enormous resources.

Develop an own website from basic. This means working with a developer to create a unique site with the features you would like to appear. This option might require time and engagement with the developer. You have to factor the expenses for hosting and maintenance.

Are there special features you would like included on your page? The features to include depend on your plans. Some people would like to have fund raisers while others provide an opportunity for comments. In other cases, invited members are allowed to upload videos and images. Such features can best be found on a site built from scratch. Identify a platform that does not limit the features you can include on the site.

Make the page as engaging as possible. People want to pass their condolence and leave messages of goodwill to the believed. It is also an opportunity for people to share photos and stories about their lives with the departed. You therefore need to provide a platform where people can engage. Include a comment feature and also the opportunity to upload images.

How long do you wish to have this page running? Though the internet never forgets, access to the page can be timed. It will be brought down once the mourning period is over. If you are looking for a timeless platform, you will give generations the opportunity mourn and share these memories.

An admin is required to moderate discussions and activities on the page. Details of interment should also be shared on the site. It is important to develop a page that represents the character of the departed. This will also ensure that it generates the impact that was desired.
